Berber rugs are probably the most beautiful in the world. And if you have to leave your clothes behind to cram one in your luggage - then do it!

Gorgeous triangular shapes, or intricate patterns with amazing craftsmanship, the rugs are a serious bit of class in your house. Best of all, they can be quite affordable.  You can approach one of the countless market stalls or studiously avoid them and still end up buying one.

Whether a one-hour trek over level ground or a five-day hike in the High Atlas Mountains, hillwalking in Morocco is magnificent.

The road east from Agadir takes you past the film studios of Ourzazate (Cleopatra, Black Hawk Down) to the site of the Berber village where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed.
